Weigh anchor is a nautical term indicating the final preparation of a sea vessel for getting underway.

Weighing anchor literally means raising the anchor of the vessel from the sea floor and hoisting it up to be stowed on board the vessel. At the moment when the anchor is no longer touching the sea floor, it is aweigh.
